Everyone only ever shows their winners, but let's be honest - that's boring.
I'm going to turn the tables and present you with my own personal financial disasters. Because who diamond hands need a thick skin.
My investment strategy?
Here are my highlights from the "Let's burn down the portfolio!"-category:
Intel (-41%) $INTC (+0,45%)
I thought I was buying a solid chip giant. Turns out: I bought a museum walk through the glory days of 1995. While Nvidia is flying to the moon, Intel is barely keeping its head above water like an old Windows 98 computer.
Unity Software (-68%) $U (+1,52%)
"Gaming is the future! Unity is THE platform for developers!" - At least that's what I thought. In reality, Unity has bugged itself so badly that not even a game patch would help. At least I have the consolation that my shares are more lag than a mobile game with too much advertising.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (-77%) $WBA (+0,38%)
Pharmacies? Safe bet! People always get sick! It's just stupid when a company is managed in such a way that even a pharmaceutical giant looks like it has overdosed itself.
Compass Pathways (-88%) $5Y6A
Psychedelic therapy is the future! Or so I thought. But my investment journey was more like a wild drug trip that ended directly in the financial hole. Instead of astral travel, it was just capital destruction.
Edita's Medicine (-95%) $EDIT (+3,49%)
Genetic engineering and CRISPR? Technology of the future! It's just a shame that my investment was deleted faster than faulty DNA. Editas has actually managed to edit itself out - and my capital along with it.
And you?
Do you also have a "Loss P0rn" story you want to share?
Or are you smarter than me and use stop losses? 😂

Friday the 13th + ECB cuts interest rates as expected + Technology stocks benefit + Unity Software changes policy + Gold hits new ATH
The European Central Bank (ECB) has reacted to the slowdown in inflation in the eurozone. The deposit rate, which sets the trend on the financial market, has fallen by 0.25 percentage points to 3.5 percent, as the central bank announced on Thursday. The ECB is thus making progress with the interest rate turnaround it began in June. According to the ECB, economic growth in the eurozone will be somewhat weaker than recently expected.
The interest rate-sensitive technology shares were therefore among the main winners. Only the US producer prices published in the meantime dampened the good mood somewhat. They rose slightly more sharply in the core rate than in the previous month.
Shares of the video game software manufacturer Unity Software $U (+1,52%) rise 7.2% to $18.45
The gold price hit a new all-time high on Thursday. After the ECB cut key interest rates for the eurozone by 25 basis points as expected, the precious metal jumped above the previous record price of 2,531 dollars. However, something else may have been much more decisive than the interest rate cut itself. The interest rate cut was not a big surprise and was very likely already priced into the market. In contrast, investors do not appear to have expected a lower forecast for future economic growth. The ECB is forecasting growth of 0.8% for 2024 (previously 0.9%), 1.3% for 2025 (previously 1.4%) and 1.5% for 2026 (previously 1.6%).
